In April 2019 I started renting out a studio apt that is part of my home. The apt was rented for 257 days. Most (except one) of the rental property values in Schedule E are substantially lower than my TurboTax inputs even when proportioning for the days the apt was available for rent. For example, my utility expense input on TurboTax online was $1802...when proportioned for the rented days (multiplied by 257/365) that should be $1269; however, on Schedule E the value is $1104. On the other hand, my property tax was $604 which when proportioned for rented days would be $425: in this case, there is agreement with Schedule E...the value is indeed $425.
If I artificially increase the value of my TurboTax inputs, the Schedule E values become even LESS. Also, some values (maintenance and cleaning) apply only to the studio and the time it was rented (example, window blinds installation) and should not be proportioned, but TurboTax proportions these also. How can I get TurboTax to put the correct values on Schedule E?
